Sabi Sabi is
South Africa's
Premier Game Private Reserve and Winner of
ASATA/Diner's Club Award for Best Game Lodge in
Southern Africa
There are three lodges at Sabi Sabi, all of
which are completely unfenced. To enhance its
old-world authentic African ambience, Selati
uses alternative energy. Lighting is provided by
oil lamps and lanterns. Our lodges are fully
licensed. Each suite has an alfresco outside
shower. Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is an
unspoilt part of Africa ecologically and
geographically integrated with the adjacent
Kruger
National Park
. It lies on the banks of the
Sabie
River
within one of the oldest and largest proclaimed
private reserves - the renowned Sabi Sand
Wildtuin.
Safaris at Sabi Sabi are a UNIQUE African
experience. Guided by your knowledgeable and
experienced ranger and skilled Shangaan tracker,
(FGASA accredited), guests begin an adventure to
spot a myriad of wild animals including, but not
limited to, the big 5, leopard, lion, rhino,
elephant and buffalo. The graceful impala,
dazzling zebra and other unique African game
will be encountered. Our rangers and skilled
Shangaan trackers, are accredited by FGASA, (The
Field Guides Association of South Africa) and
trained to understand the needs of our guests.
They will go to great lengths to ensure that
Safari's at Sabi Sabi are an unforgettable
experience and that you leave our game reserve
with a wonderful knowledge of the flora and
fauna, as well as having taken award-winning
photographs of our creatures and had close,
unlimited encounters with our wildlife.
Walking Safaris
While most animals will be viewed from the
comfort and security of open Land Rovers our
safari team will encourage you to spend a few
hours on foot to experience the true pulse of
Africa. Walks are
tailored to individuals and are not supposed to
be route marches but rather an opportunity to
examine the smaller creatures of the bush often
overlooked from the Land Rover. During these
environmental awareness walking trails, guests
will be fascinated by the rangers' in-depth
knowledge of nature and ecology and learn about
Sabi Sabi's conservation and habitat management
policies. The trackers will relate their
folklore, explain medicinal uses of the bush as
well as discuss their cultural heritage.
Birding Hides
Sabi Sabi is home to over 350 species of bird.
These species include some of the world's most
magnificent raptors, to ornately coloured
bee-eaters and may be spotted from your Land
Rover or from our birding hides (blinds) in the
game reserve. The bird-life around the lodges is
also prolific. As the best time of the day to
enjoy game activity is in the cooler hours, our
safaris go out at first light in the morning and
again an hour or two before sunset. Night
Safaris are a unique opportunity to watch
nocturnal predators on the hunt. During the heat
of the day, we encourage guests to enjoy a
siesta, cool down in the pool, view the abundant
bird life or pamper yourself in the Earth Nature
Spa. Sabi Sabi rangers / guides will have
undergone close to 6 months training before they
escort a guest on safari. The company thereby
ensures that the highest possible standard of
training is achieved. The Sabi Sabi tracker team
undergoes training and are evaluated under the
FGASA requirements. Sabi Sabi's success in
promoting trackers to the position of ranger is
unparalleled in the industry and is a direct
result of the training base as well as the
philosophy of offering opportunities for growth
to all employees.
